A Russian reconnaissance airplane briefly violated Sweden’s airspace on Friday, Swedish defense officials mentioned on Saturday, because the Scandinavian nation ponders a bid for NATO membership after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
“A Russian AN-30 propeller airplane violated Swedish airspace on Friday evening,” the Swedish protection ministry stated in a statement, adding that its teams had adopted the incident and photographed it.
The ministry stated the aircraft was flying east of Bornholm, a Danish island within the Baltic, earlier than it headed towards Swedish territory.
“It is totally unacceptable to violate Swedish airspace,” public television SVT quoted Protection Minister Peter Hultqvist as saying.
“This motion is unprofessional and given the overall safety state of affairs very inappropriate. Swedish sovereignty must always be respected.”
